I truly believe there is no other place I would have felt comfortable dropping off my daughter! The staff are professional, kind, and clearly love what they do. The physical campus is also incredible, and I cannot believe the spaces she is able to explore. She never stops talking about the farm animals! She is so delighted to go in each morning, and we could not be happier that we found such a wonderful place for her to learn and grow.

My child is so very happy at second nature. I am thrilled we found the perfect school. Public…read moreschool was just not right for my son. He is learning Mandarin and conversational Spanish along with his core subjects- all of which he is able to move along at a pace that works for him. I particularly like the way they handle typical "elementary" conflict. They hold a meeting, everyone can speak their mind and then they all decide how they can work through it.. a real life skill! In my child's old school an argument at recess meant children "sitting out" not able to play simply because they had a conflict about something. This fostered ill feelings amoung the children rather than empowering them to work out issues and move on together.. a very adult way to handle things. It's the small details like this that make all the difference in the world for ensuring children become productive members of society. After visiting many private schools we are so glad we decided on Second Nature Academy!

Oops ~ I forgot to mention that Liz accepts catering jobs only by personal referral. Nonetheless,…read moreI am SO happy I just had to put it in writing. -------------------------------- Liz and her catering staff more than ably took care of our, um, large (65+!) party this past weekend. Each and every task was attended to with professionalism, warmth, and absolute attention to detail (they completely cleaned the kitchen AND vacuumed before they left!). The food and its presentation were fabulous, and, combined with the beautiful atmosphere Liz created, made our housewarming a complete success. Many of our guests commented that ours was the best party they had ever been to (smile!!!). I recommend Liz Barbour's Creative Feast with complete confidence.

The studio is homey, (literally in a house) but we pulled up to the place and were greeted immediately in the driveway and told where to park to get us right in. We had called that morning and they squeezed us in. The care we received during the class you wouldn't be able to tell we were "squeezed in". We had many tries because it was our first time ever doing pottery so we had unlimited chances to get it right. All in all, it's a hole in the wall but well worth it for anyone looking for something to do on a weekend. Can't wait to come again to paint our masterpieces again with Judy!

Swung by here after doing some shopping in town, was impressed by the enormous and very airy,…read morespacious-feeling workout area which is ringed by a nice big indoor track that has full length windows offering some beautiful verdant vistas on all sides. Actual equipment was ok, a bit willy-nilly jumbled up and crowded together though, and the general vibe perhaps as a result of the architecture was somewhat cold and impersonal despite the small-town locale. I was relieved to see that they did have at least two Keiser stationary bikes, which are increasingly rare these days as most gyms get suckered into the big lumbering fancy LOOKING bikes with the flashy screens and video-game simulations, that have lousy ergonomics making you feel like you're pedaling a toy not a real bike. They do have some Concept rowers at least, which is a good sign. Overall I'd say it's a fairly decent Y except for the sauna, which was sorely disappointing in that despite being brand new looking and quite pleasant/spacious, was being run at some geriatric 150-160 degrees tops. Oh and they close way the hell too early on weekends: 5pm on Saturday, 4pm on Sunday. Only slightly less lousy than my home Y in Cambridge (4pm both days). Argh!
